Comment on AI Eroded Doctors' Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
Baggie@lemmy.zip 2 days agoIf your use a calculator, and it gives you back a number that can’t possibly be right, you know there’s an error somewhere along the line.
If you’ve never done multiplication before, you won’t have that innate sense of what looks right or wrong.

“I can do math by hand.”
“But what if you can’t?”
Incorrect.

It’s an analogy. It’s referring to the original comment where people don’t have the skills to recognise how or why something doesn’t work. The core problem is without that fundamental understanding of what you’re trying to do, you don’t know why something doesn’t work.

No shit, it’s my analogy. And I made clear - the underlying skill still exists.
These doctors can still spot cancer. They’re just rusty at eyeballing it, after several months using a tool that’s better than their eyeballs.
X-rays probably made doctors worse at detecting tumors by feeling around for lumps. Do you want them to fixate on that skill in particular? Or would you prefer medical care that uses modern technology?

Well you need to work on your communication skills as much as you do on your tone then.
You clearly are more focused on being argumentative and obtuse rather than engaging the argument that skills need to be developed, before you assign all the work to a machine that automates the process, but errors can and will occur.
Enjoy spending all your life entering every discussion predisposed to anger and argument, I’ve got better things to do with my time.
